New pool. Salt Level is reading 3900. Google tells me that the correct salt level is between 2700-3400. My salt level is at 3900. Is this too high? Can this cause damage? Thanks for help

Welcome!
What is the model of your SWG? You should maintain the level in accordance with the owner’s manual for your unit.
Also, please read the ABCs of Water Chemistry (ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry - Trouble Free Pool). This will help guide you.

Welcome to the forum!
The Intellichlor will flash the Salt green light if the salinity is high. Is it flashing?
Up to 4500 ppm salt it would be time to be concerned. For now, no issues.
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.

No sorry that was a separate thought on the Cyanuric Acid. Lights on IC40 are green no flashing so I guess I am good there.
As I was looking at the levels on the app I noticed that the cyanuric acid was at 0. My pool builder has been controlling everything until now but he is on vacation. Just wondering what the cyanuric acid level should be at?

You need a proper test kit, see Test Kits Compared. I suggest the TF100. A proper test kit is needed to get the accurate water chemistry results needed to follow the TFP protocols. With a SWCG, you also should have the K1766 salt test kit. The Speedstir is very helpful in getting good test results.

I have the IC-40 also.
Pentair recommends 3600-4500 ppm salt level with 3600 being ideal.
Just in case your builder did not give you your owner's manuals yet, please check out the online IC-40 manual here: https://www.pentair.com/content/dam...al_Version_3_units_after_Nov_2011_English.pdf
